Part of the Dead Sea Scrolls collection is entrusted to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, which includes the first seven scrolls. Others are in the possession of institutions outside of Israel.
Israel Museum has partnered with Google to create the Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Project, allowing remote users to examine and explore these scrolls with translations from a web browser.
Yes. The dead sea scrolls are on exhibit at the 'Shrine of the Book' museum in Jerusalem. See http://www.answers.com/topic/shrine-of-the-book for more info.
Israel retains the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Shrine of the Book Museum in Jerusalem (except at such times when they are on foreign exhibition). They are not really a mystery since the Hebrew is readily understandable (although old). The mystery concerns the people who had those scrolls and the differences there are between the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Masoretic Hebrew Text of today.
No. There are some parts of the scrolls that are either difficult to read or are so fragmented that it is impossible to make out what the words say. However, the vast majority of the Dead Sea Scrolls have been properly identified and translated. The Israel Museum in Jerusalem has an interactive website where you can examine some of the more important scrolls and see their translations. There is a link below.

I believe you are referring to The Dead Sea Scrolls. In that case, they were found (obviously)near the Dead Sea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea_Scrolls
Fragments of the scrolls are on display at the Archaeological Museum, Amman but not the whole thing
the dead sea scrolls were found in the mountain side caves of the dead sea
Saeer Mountains on the west bank of the dead sea east of jerusalem, 7 miles south of Jerico
Near is a relative term. Jerusalem is primarily surrounded by valleys. If you consider between 20 and 35 miles near, then the Dead Sea (East), Jordan River (East, Northeast) and the Mediterranean Sea (West). A farther distance to the South is the Red Sea.
